I am Patricia Grames and am on a retirement that keeps decreasing instead of increasing. Food prices are going up much faster than inflation, as are medical costs, and it is getting harder and harder to afford the foods I need, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. My son drives 20 miles to work and back every day, and gasoline prices are going up without a reasonable basis. Commodity market gamblers have got to be restrained or the U.S. poverty rate will go through the ceiling.
I urge you to curb excessive gambling in commodities markets like food
and oil. ZPXHX
